Kelly Rowland had an argument with an usher at the Cannes Film Festival red carpet. She said she was treated differently because of how she looks. The incident happened at the premiere of the movie "Marcello Mio." In a video, you can see the usher telling Rowland to leave the carpet and go inside the theater. Other ushers then surrounded her to guide her up the stairs. Rowland seemed upset and talked firmly to one of the ushers. The Cannes Film Festival is strict about its red carpet rules. Ushers quickly move guests into the theater and don't let them stay on the carpet for long. In the past, there was a rule that women had to wear heels on the red carpet, but it was changed after criticism in 2015.

Ushers then guided her up the stairs, and Rowland spoke firmly to one of them. Rowland is famous for being in Destiny's Child and has had success as a solo artist. She has also acted in movies.
